Settler Colonialism is the Disaster: A Critique of New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina and During the COVID-19 Pandemic (U Illinois Press, 2026) is the new book from Dr. Cassandra Shepard, Assistant Professor in the Department of African American and Diaspora Studies at Xavier University of Louisiana. Published with University of Illinois Press, this encompassing and engrossing book focuses on the crises that have engulfed New Orleans, including the disasters of colonialism, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and COVID-19, taking the reader through their causes and impacts on not only a broad level but through the everyday and often traumatic experiences of the residents of New Orleans. The analysis moves from the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans, to state-level post-disaster reconstruction contracts, to international forms of colonialism, and even encompasses Beyonce. This book, which is also includes poetry and a recommended playlist, is also very relevant to the current global moment. Shepard analyses the overlapping and intersecting disasters that have affected New Orleans through ideas of disaster capitalism and settler colonialism, demonstrating how Black and Indigenous peoples have been deprived of critical resources. The reconstruction processes following, and during, these crises have often sought to exploit the authentic New Orleans culture and vibrancy to further the consolidation of power, profit, and privilege of white elites, to the detriment of Black and Indigenous peoples. Shepard's book, Settler Colonialism is the Disaster, takes a multi-scalar view of settler colonialism and investigates how it has not only operated historically in New Orleans, but clearly demonstrates that it is a continual process that still determines reconstruction, relief, and other projects today. Shepard connects the ongoing violence and dispossession inherent in settler colonialism within New Orleans, expressed through structural responses to Hurricane Katrina and COVID-19, to other settler colonial projects around the world, such as in Canada, Israel, New Zealand, and Australia. Cassandra Shepard's new book is an exceptional, theoretically and empirically rich book that offers a new critique into ‘best practice' reconstruction, which demands attention. Settler Colonialism is the Disaster offers an urgent, critical view of the political economy of reconstruction, aid, and government responses; a view which is crucial to take seriously in our world today, plagued as it is by crisis, war, and settler colonialism. Elliot Dolan-Evans is a sessional lecturer in law at Monash University and RMIT. His research investigates the political economy of global capitalism, forms of international governance, and questions of war and peace. His first book, Making War Safe for Capitalism: The World Bank, IMF and the Conflict in Ukraine, is now out with Bristol University Press. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, I am joined by my friend Gregorio Montejo to discuss a subject that has caused a minor controversy in the world of re-enchantment and Traditionalist Catholicism. I am talking about a book titled Mysticism, Magic & Monasteries: Recovering the Sacred Mystery at the Root of Reality (Os Justi Press, 2024) by Dr. Sebastian Morello. In this book, Dr. Morello argues for the integration (possibly re-integration) of neoplatonic and hermetic thought into the Church. What does this mean? What does this look like? We discuss all this, critiques of the book, and much more. Gregorio Montejo can be found on Twitter.com @KtistecPGregorio's substack, Past Master, can be found here.

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by Zorikh Lequidre to revisit Shazam! Fury of the Gods. We break down the sequel's mythic swing, its tonal tightrope between family comedy and divine spectacle, and whether this lightning strike deserved a brighter fate at the box office.

Complex Character History and Naming (02:43) The Shazam character has undergone multiple renamings, now sometimes called "The Captain" to differentiate from original versions. Comics have introduced variants like Mary Marvel and Junior (Freddie Freeman's hero name) to expand the lore. The character's fluctuating comic presence, with cancellations and restarts, impacts fan engagement and continuity. Zorak's project, Captain Marvel Culture, explores these variants in cultural and historical contexts, highlighting the character's societal relevance. Actor and Fan Perspectives on Shazam (07:30) Sam Alicea shared her positive cosplay experience as Mary Marvel, emphasizing the character's wholesome reception in fandom. Both Sam and Case Aiken noted that the first Shazam movie was colorful and fun, appealing to casual viewers with good pacing and humor. Case's personal connection to the character goes back to childhood superhero creations, reinforcing the deep fan roots. The first film balanced the youthful and superhero personas well, unlike the sequel where the older cast created dissonance. Challenges with Sequel Timing and Casting (14:00) The four-year gap between the first and second Shazam movies caused problematic aging of the cast, making the characters less believable as teenagers. The COVID-19 pandemic limited crowd scenes, affecting the movie's atmosphere and fight sequences, leading to a "COVID movie" feel with socially distanced extras. The sequel's timing made character maturity inconsistent, with Zachary Levi's older age conflicting with immature superhero behavior, reducing audience sympathy. The lack of continuity in character growth and the absence of younger kid scenes weakened the family dynamic established in the first film. Plot, Powers, and Mythological Elements The movie's story and mythological adaptations were discussed, focusing on the Daughters of Atlas and their powers, plus how mythology was reinterpreted (28:58). Invented Mythology and Powers of Atlas' Daughters (29:00) The film introduced three daughters of Atlas, a creative deviation from classical mythology that was accepted as a fun concept. Helen Mirren's character uses force fields and telekinesis, Lucy Liu's character employs "chaos" powers resembling mind control, and Rachel Zegler's character has axis-based powers, visually impressive but not well explained. The powers were often scene-dependent rather than consistent, especially Helen Mirren's varying abilities. The dome barrier served as a plot device to isolate the final fight and prevent intervention from other heroes, a trope common in superhero films. Mythology vs. Comic Lore (31:33) The movie used traditional Shazam power origins (Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, Mercury) rather than newer comic variations. Discussion considered linking the characters to the broader DC mythos, such as the New Gods, but the film stuck to simpler concepts. The film's magic and powers were occasionally connected to Dungeons & Dragons references, reflecting the script's mix of fantasy influences. The casting of iconic actors like Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu added gravitas despite the powers being plot-driven. Narrative and Visual Critiques of Powers and Effects (35:00) The dome and powers' visual effects felt forced or inconsistent, serving more as story contrivances than meaningful world-building. The chaotic power, mainly mind control, lacked thematic clarity despite being the most consistent. The movie struggled to integrate powers into the plot logically, often introducing new abilities at convenience moments. The limited impact of the dome on the city was noted, with little attention to realistic consequences of such an event. Family Dynamics and Character Development A major theme was how the sequel mishandled the Shazam family dynamic, focusing too much on superhero forms and not enough on the kids' human sides (40:00). Underused Supporting Characters and Forced Representation (40:00) Pedro's gay reveal felt forced due to minimal screen time and lack of character development. The less prominent kids, especially Eugene and Pedro, were overshadowed by their superhero forms, weakening emotional engagement. Darla remained the heart of the family, carrying much of the emotional weight and humor, consistent with the first film. The sequel relied heavily on superhero personas rather than showing genuine child characters, harming the family's relatability. Mismatch of Actor Ages and Character Portrayals (46:30) The aging cast, particularly Zachary Levi, struggled to convincingly portray teenage characters, making immature behavior less palatable. The lack of contrasting younger versions of Billy and other kids reduced the dynamic tension present in the original movie. The sequel missed chances to explore Billy's growth and his struggles with leadership and abandonment issues meaningfully. Sam noted the film's good attempt to show Billy's fear of aging out of foster care as a motivation, but this was not fully developed. Lost Opportunities for Emotional Payoff (53:00) The film failed to create a satisfying emotional journey for Billy, especially regarding his insecurities and leadership challenges. The family's support was underutilized in key moments, leaving Billy's character arc feeling incomplete. The sequel lacked the sense of belonging and acceptance that made the first film's family dynamic resonate. Case and Sam suggested that a powerful second-act scene showing Billy's vulnerability and the family's encouragement was needed to strengthen the story. Critique and Proposed Fixes for the Sequel The panel proposed several realistic improvements to the sequel's structure, pacing, and character focus to enhance its emotional and narrative impact (56:00). Strengthening the Second Act and Family Bonding (56:00) Add scenes where the kids remain in their human forms to highlight their vulnerabilities, creating richer character moments. Insert a confrontation scene where Billy expresses frustration at the family's lack of unity, followed by reassurance from siblings. Shorten or remove the cringy Wonder Woman date scene to maintain tone and pacing. Show more of the lesser-used kids at school, depicting their struggles balancing normal life and superhero identities. Improving the Final Battle with the Dragon (31:30, 56:00, 01:32:50) Make the fight more dynamic by having Billy repeatedly say "Shazam" to power up the staff, requiring him to transform back to human form intermittently. Introduce stages in the fight where the hero tries different tactics, fails, then devises a winning plan. Include moments of vulnerability where Billy dodges attacks and avoids damage, adding tension and realism. Use the environment inside the dome better, possibly including some civilians or other stakes, if COVID protocols allow. Enhancing Character Scenes and Emotional Arcs (01:40:00) Show the kids' defeat when Helen Mirren's character escapes by turning back into their child forms, emphasizing their youth and fallibility. Add a scene where Billy admits to failure and receives encouragement from his siblings, reinforcing the family theme. Develop more natural, character-driven moments such as a school scene involving Skittles, tying in humor and personality. Streamline the plot to reduce the number of major events, allowing more screen time for character interactions and growth. Long-Term Franchise Vision: TV Series Format (01:14:30, 01:49:00) The panel agreed a TV series would better suit the story, allowing the actors to age naturally and explore the characters in depth. Proposed dividing the cast so Billy, Mary, and Freddie attend college while the younger kids remain in high school, creating parallel storylines. This approach resembles a "Happy Days with superpowers" format, supporting gradual character evolution and maintaining audience engagement. The TV format would also allow passing powers to new kids as the original characters grow up, ensuring franchise longevity. Production Context and External Influences The discussion recognized COVID-19's major impact on production, release timing, and overall movie quality, affecting creative decisions and execution (14:00, 01:52:00). COVID-19 Pandemic Effects (14:00) Production delays and social distancing protocols limited extras and crowd scenes, affecting the movie's atmosphere and fight choreography. The necessity of a smaller dome and fewer characters in scenes was a direct result of COVID restrictions. The four-year gap between movies was unplanned but forced by the pandemic, causing casting and story continuity issues. These factors contributed to the movie feeling disjointed and less cohesive compared to the first film. Script and Franchise Challenges (25:00) Multiple script rewrites were needed after Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam was spun off into his own movie, forcing major plot changes. The absence of Black Adam as a villain removed a key expected antagonist, weakening the sequel's threat level and fan expectations. The movie was released amid DC's shifting cinematic universe plans, reducing the likelihood of future sequels or franchise expansion. Despite plans to connect with the Justice Society and tease Mr. Mind, these elements remained unresolved, signaling franchise uncertainty. Casting and Political Context (01:06:00) Gal Gadot's performance as Wonder Woman was noted as uneven and disconnected from the main cast's energy. The panel acknowledged Gadot's political stances have affected her reception among some fans, adding complexity to her role's acceptance. The awkwardness of Billy's romantic scene with Wonder Woman was criticized for tone and appropriateness, detracting from character coherence. Zachary Levi's personal controversies and public persona complicated audience reception of his performance, especially given the film's tonal demands.

Drawing on her personal experience—her father's time in federal prison—and academic research at Oxford, Abby offers a theologically rich critique of retributive justice models prevalent in the U.S. prison system. She explains how biblical justice prioritizes restoration and dignity rather than dehumanization, citing key themes such as the Shema and imago Dei. Abby shares firsthand accounts from interviews with incarcerated individuals, exposing everyday indignities—from food labeled “not for human consumption” to being stripped of identity and reduced to a number. With over 80% recidivism in the U.S., Abby points to countries like Norway where restorative practices and the “principle of normalcy” have dramatically reduced reoffense. The episode challenges listeners to rethink what justice should look like through a biblical lens: not just punishment, but humanizing correction rooted in love. It's a conversation that bridges theology, criminology, and real human stories—urging the church to see prisoners not as disposable, but as image-bearers.

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 125), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the Gate of Truth (Sha'ar HaEmes) from Orchos Tzaddikim, emphasizing relentless commitment to truth in thought, word, and action. Key teachings:Always place truth before you — King Solomon (the “wise one”) teaches to set emes (truth) as your constant guide in all dealings. Make reminders/signs to avoid lying; write down commitments and review them before transactions (business, study, daily life) so truth is fixed in your heart and you don't forget or contradict yourself.Truth in heart & mind — Truth must be implanted and solidified in the heart (not just spoken). Early pious sages sold items at the price fixed in their hearts—even refusing higher offers. If thoughts/commitments risk violation (forgetting), write them down or seek a sage to nullify if needed.Reward of truth — “You decree a word, and it will be fulfilled for you” (Job 22:28)—truthful people's words/thoughts manifest; their dealings (business, lending) reflect unwavering honesty. Hashem fulfills decrees of the truthful.Accept truth from anyone — Don't be embarrassed to accept truth from any person—even small, young, or despised. A precious pearl remains precious regardless of who holds it.Critique & truth — Wise people love truthful critique—it's free self-improvement. Moshe rebuked gently; accept correction without ego. Truth from any source elevates.Modern application — Politicians often flip positions—truth isn't negotiable. We must verify everything against Torah sources (no anonymous claims). Truth stands forever; falsehood collapses. Live congruently: heart, mouth, and actions aligned with emes.The rabbi ties this to daily life: in a world of contradictions (politics, news), prioritize truth over comfort or convenience. Truth connects us to Hashem (Emet); falsehood separates us from our godly soul._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on September 1, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 12, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Jonathan Cohler and Willie Soon present a rebuttal to assertions made by Ned Nikolov about the physical meaning of global mean surface temperature (GMST). They argue that GMST is a physically meaningless statistical construct that cannot represent the Earth's thermal state or energy content due to its basis in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. They emphasize that temperature is an intensive property and its aggregation across different systems is fundamentally flawed from both mathematical and thermodynamic perspectives.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:38 Global Temperature: Physically Meaningless01:28 Thermodynamics and Its Importance02:26 Disagreement in Science02:58 Essex Etal 2007 Paper Discussion04:25 Defining Global Mean Surface Temperature (GMST)08:04 Temperature and Energy Relationship15:43 Critique of Nikolov's Claims34:26 Averaging Methods and Their Flaws49:28 Debunking Global Temperature Myths49:48 The Flaws in Global Temperature Estimation51:23 Classical Realism and Thermodynamics53:06 Critique of GMST and Climate Models54:23 The Paris Agreement and GMST55:47 Misconceptions in Climate Science01:14:21 The Role of AI in Climate Research01:20:03 Concluding Thoughts and Future Workhttps://jonathancohler.com/https://x.com/cohlerDDP July 2025 presentation: “The Father of Lies: Hijacking Climate Science - Jonathan Cohler”: https://youtu.be/o_YJgD5cy1IDDP July 2025 presentation: How well can we measure the Earth's energy budget?

Main Topic Sermon by evangelist David Fisher from Fan Into Flames Ministry, on going through storms in life, using Mark 4:35–41 (Jesus calming the storm) and Isaiah 43:1–3 to call believers to a deeper revelation of Jesus rather than just rescue from problems.​ 1. Introduction: Word of God and Worship Word of God as powerful and authoritative, likened to a hammer that breaks rock (Jeremiah, Jesus' words never passing away).​ Welcome to Pastor Dave Fisher; context of recent ministry, prayer week, and sensing an increased move of the Spirit in the church and region.​ Worship as an act of defiance against the devil: choosing to shout unto God with a voice of triumph regardless of circumstances.​ Isaiah 43 read as a promise to God's people: when you go through waters, rivers, and fire, God is with you and you will not be destroyed.​ 2. “Going Through It”: Life's Unrelenting Storms Honest acknowledgement that many feel they are “going through it” (days, months, even decades of trial).​ Personal testimony of Dave and Shelley facing the most difficult mental, emotional, and spiritual season of their marriage.​ Introduction of Mark 4: disciples in a literal storm used as metaphor for any life trial.​ 3. The Main Question: “Who Is This Man?” Common application: Jesus stills our storms; affirmation that He can, does, and will.​ Central thesis: believers are not the main characters; the primary point is revelation of Jesus' identity, not mere deliverance.​ If God rescues us but we do not gain a deeper revelation of Jesus, our faith will be shaken at the next storm.​ Key question from the text: “Who is this man?”—this is the heart of the narrative and the sermon.​ 4. Crossing to the Other Side: Assignment and Opposition Jesus' simple statement “Let's cross to the other side of the lake” implies divine direction and assignment, not a casual trip.​ On the other side (Mark 5) is the demonized man with a legion; the crossing is about confronting hell and freeing a captive.​ Any call to follow Jesus and advance His kingdom will be opposed by powers of darkness; storms often accompany assignment.​ Demons recognize Jesus' identity and authority even before the disciples do; they know His power over them.​ 5. Storms, the Enemy, and Our Focus Enemy's purpose: incite fear, paralyze faith, and block God's purpose by overwhelming us with storms and problems.​ Some storms may be directly demonic; others are used by the enemy to assault mind, emotions, and focus.​ When overwhelmed by what we are going through, we forget what we are going to (our assignment).​ Disciples' early lesson: following Jesus includes storms; in this world we will have tribulation, but Jesus has overcome.​ 6. Presence in the Storm vs. Our Perception Fierce storm (earthquake-like on the water); seasoned fishermen are terrified as the boat fills with water.​ Core promise: Jesus is in the boat—in the midst of the storm—fulfilling God's word, “I will be with you.”​ Call to defiantly declare God's word over symptoms and senses: choose His word over sight, feelings, and thoughts.​ Warning: if we fail to discern the source of the storm, we fight the storm instead of the enemy behind it.​ 7. Jesus' Peace and Identity vs. Disciples' Panic Contrast: disciples terrified; Jesus asleep on a cushion—same boat, same storm, radically different response.​ It can feel like Jesus is present but passive, silent, or indifferent; these feelings are real but not true.​ Jesus' inner rest flows from knowing His Father, His identity, His origin, His assignment, and His destiny.​ Believers likewise know their beginning (saved), their assignment, and their end (with Him), so anything in between is in the Father's hands.​ 8. Fear, Faith, and Revelation Disciples' cry “Teacher, don't you care we are going to drown?” contrasts Jesus' word “We're going to the other side.”​ Only one declaration can be true; revelation of who He is corrects our conclusions about our situation.​ Critique of purely informational faith: information about Jesus must become Spirit-given revelation in our hearts.​ Areas dominated by fear reveal where we lack revelation of who Jesus is (e.g., healing, provision, family).​ 9. Jesus Rebukes the Storm and the Source Jesus responds to their cry by rebuking wind and waves with authority (“Silence, be still” / “shut up and knock it off”).​ Same language used to address demons, suggesting confrontation with spiritual forces behind the storm.​ Believers are invited to speak with that same delegated authority to the spirit behind the storm.​ Emphasis: the real battle is not with circumstances but with Satan, who seeks to destroy faith and block assignment.​ 10. Christ's Deity and the Disciples' Holy Terror Immediate calm reveals Jesus is doing what only God does in the Old Testament—ruling the chaotic waters.​ This event unveils not just His power but His deity: Jesus is God, the eternal Word made flesh.​ After the calm, Jesus asks, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”—implying they need not have feared.​ The disciples become “absolutely terrified” in a holy way; divine presence is more awe-inspiring than any storm or demon.​ 11. From Survival to Thriving: The Goal of Storms God's purpose is not mere survival but thriving in the midst of storms through deeper revelation of Christ.​ What we magnify (storm or Jesus) will master us; magnifying Christ brings freedom from storm-mastery.​ Storms can serve as opportunities for maturity and revelation (James 1:2–4 referenced).​ Encouragement: do not wait for storms to seek revelation; build it now in the Word.​ 12. Practical Response: Defiant Declarations and Spiritual Warfare Call to become a defiant people against the enemy, not against God: spiritual warfare, shouting, and praise.​ Personal example: walking around the house proclaiming God's word, pleading the blood, attacking the devil by the Spirit and the Word.​ Use Scripture to declare truth over fear, sickness, and oppression; don't believe everything you think.​ Weapons of warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to pull down strongholds and cast down imaginations.​ 13. Extended Declarations: “Who Is This Man?” Corporate ministry time: congregation invited to the altar to declare who Jesus is, not just receive prayer.​ Long series of biblical declarations describing Jesus' identity and work (never leaving or forsaking; bread of life; light; shepherd; vine; way, truth, life; resurrection and life).​ Christ as reconciler, sin-bearer, seated in highest honor, head of the church, victor over sin, death, and Satan.​ Christ as Alpha and Omega, visible image of the invisible God, creator and sustainer, Lamb slain yet standing, coming King.​ 14. Shout of Triumph and Closing Exhortation Congregational Jericho-style shout as an act of spiritual warfare, linked to breaking chains and walls falling.​ Second, louder shout encouraged, likened to (but surpassing) cheering at a football game (Super Bowl Sunday reference).​ Affirmation that walls are coming down, demons are fleeing, and victories are being won because of Jesus' kingship.​ Dismissal: leave with praise, a shout, and an awareness of spiritual battle; take God's word and do warfare in Jesus' name

Theoretical Models of the CorporationScholars debate the fundamental nature of the public corporation through several lenses:The Principal-Agent vs. Team Production Models: The traditional "principal-agent" model views shareholders as owners who hire managers (agents) to maximize their wealth. In contrast, the "Team Production Theory" suggests the corporation is a "mediating hierarchy". In this model, stakeholders like shareholders, employees, and creditors voluntarily yield control over their firm-specific investments to an independent board of directors to coordinate production and prevent wasteful "rent-seeking" or "shirking".The Efficiency vs. Power Models: Adherents to the "efficiency model" view the firm as a "nexus of contracts" where market forces naturally select governance structures that minimize transaction costs. Conversely, the "power model" depicts the firm as an organic institution where management holds a strategic position and uses tools like board representation to legitimate its own autonomy and discretion.Fiduciary Duties and the Business Judgment RuleCorporate management is constrained and protected by specific legal doctrines:Fiduciary Obligations: Directors owe a triad of duties: good faith, loyalty, and due care. While these are often described as running to shareholders, case law clarifies that these duties are primarily owed to the corporate entity itself.Presumption of Regularity: The Business Judgment Rule creates a strong presumption that directors act on an informed basis and in the honest belief that their actions serve the corporation's best interests. This rule effectively insulates directors from personal liability for bad business decisions unless a plaintiff proves fraud, self-dealing, or gross negligence in the decision-making process.Derivative Suits: Shareholders may sue on the corporation's behalf for breaches of duty, but procedural barriers—such as the "demand" requirement—ensure these suits remain a "safety valve" rather than a tool for direct shareholder control.Limited LiabilityA cornerstone of the corporate form is limited liability, which stipulates that shareholders are generally not personally responsible for corporate debts beyond their initial investment.Justification: This status encourages risk-taking and large-scale capital formation.Critique and Externalities: Critics argue that limited liability encourages excessive risk-taking and allows corporations to "socialize" losses, such as environmental damage from fossil fuel production. Some propose redefining this status for sectors that generate significant negative externalities to ensure investors have "skin in the game".Regulatory Dynamics and LegitimacyThe sources highlight an increasing convergence between corporate governance and public government institutional features.Federal vs. State Rulemaking: The SEC provides broad federal disclosure regulations, while the Delaware Court of Chancery often fills gaps through case-by-case transactional jurisprudence. Laws like Sarbanes-Oxley (2002) and Dodd-Frank (2010) have further federalized governance by imposing standards for director independence, audit committees, and whistleblower protections.Legitimacy through Process: Corporate legitimacy is increasingly derived from procedural mechanisms common in democratic states, such as the separation of powers, transparency (disclosure), and ethics codes.Case Study: Government as Regulator-ShareholderThe Bank of America (BOA)-Merrill Lynch merger during the 2008 financial crisis serves as a case study for the "shotgun wedding" dynamic. When the federal government acts as both a regulator and a powerful shareholder, traditional fiduciary analysis becomes strained. In the BOA case, the Treasury effectively compelled the merger by threatening to remove the board, highlighting a "post-bailout reality" where corporate decision-making is a coordinated public-private process rather than a purely private affair.

POUR COMMANDER VOTRE ALBUM ROSEMOOD C'EST PAR ICI Aujourd'hui, on va parler d'un sujet massivement invisibilisé : les violences faites aux enfants.En France, près de 400 000 enfants sont victimes de violences.Un enfant meurt tous les cinq jours, tué par ses parents ou ses grands-parents.18 enfants sont agressés sexuellement chaque heure.Et pourtant, le sujet reste tabou.Claire Bourdille, fondatrice du collectif Enfantiste, remet le mot adéquat sur ce silence : l'adultisme.Un système de domination des adultes sur les enfants, que 100 % des enfants traversent, sous des formes plus ou moins visibles.Claire, est activiste, autrice du livre “Enfantisme, il est temps de respecter les enfants”.Elle s'est engagée pour protéger les enfants — et pour comprendre pourquoi notre société continue de les exposer à la violence.Dans cet épisode, on parle de l'iceberg des violences faites aux enfants, de violences ordinaires, répétées, banalisées, de justice défaillante, mais aussi d'espoir, d'action collective et de responsabilité partagée.Parce qu'un enfant est un être humain.Et qu'il n'appartient à personne.Le Programme :
